The property in located in San Vito dei Normanni (Brindisi – Puglia) This is a very special opportunity to acquire and restore a traditional 16th century Italain farmhouse (Masseria). The main house, the former stables and outbuildings are arranged around a courtyard which still retains the original stone floor.
Description of buildings
The whole area is enclosed by stone walls. The original charming entrance arch is still in place. The old farmhouse has four large rooms with high vaulted ceilings coming to a point in the centre, thus giving them their Italian name “stella” meaning star. There is another large room with a high barrel shaped roof. There are numerous other rooms, stables and outbuildings to be converted. The farmhouse alone would convert to a house of 300sqm. Coverting the outbuildings and allowing for the amount of extension which would be permitted, the overall floorspace could be well in excess of 500 sqm. The property sits on 25 000 sqm total. The surrounding land of is cultivated with olive trees. The farmhouse has several large water cisterns and a number of fireplaces/chimneys. Electricity is available to the property. This property is full of potential. It could be refurbished as a large family home, as a joint venture with friends or family – there is ample scope for more than one indpendent living area – or as a commercial venture. The property is only 2 km from San Vito Dei Normanni a good sized, typical Italian town with all ameneties. It is about 20mins driving from Brindisi airport and only 10mins drive from the beautiful Adriatic coast.
